Breaking New Ground, the story...
When Adele Parker wins a TV competition to have

The good luck grows. Her neighbours join her and they all cash in on
an unexpected opportunity.

more than they bargained for?
And more than anything can a garden nurture fulfilment for all the residents of
Orchard Court?

Under the Bonsai Trees
By Anna West
Millie Bray
is a happy-go-lucky bank clerk who is always ready to help anyone.
Unfortunately, her friendly liaison with garden centre owner, Richard Greenway
is not progressing as she calculated. Millie is hoping to change Richard’s
philandering nature, but there are many obstacles standing in her way; the most
annoying being his intermittent young girlfriend, Yolanda. The story starts with
an unexpected holiday in the Greek Islands, but what goes on later under the
bonsai trees is even more out of the blue!
